“1Spatial is delighted to further expand its footprint in the APAC market. Guy brings extensive knowledge and business insight and his appointment reflects our continued commitment to this region and our existing install base”, said Nic Snape, CEO of 1Spatial.

Prior to his current appointment Perkins held various executive management positions with leading organisations in the geospatial industry including ESRI and PitneyBowes MapInfo. Previously, he was also CEO of ER Mapper’s global operations.

His initial focus will be to further strengthen relations with 1Spatial’s existing customer base and partner community and to identify new market opportunities in the Australian and New Zealand region.

The appointment comes at a time when 1Spatial is experiencing significant growth in the Asia-Pacific market place.
